''I think it only shows that "lasting" lit merit is, obviously, not something that can be predicted in the same age as a given work is written.'' Then why is it that the Pulitzer Prize for literature is awarded to contemporary authors for contemporary works? More to the point, why is it that NO writer of Science Fiction or Fantasy has ever won a Pulitzer Prise for his or her work in these fields? Perry

Why is it that no SF or F author has won a Pulitzer? Why is it that so few PBS shows win awards? Just goes to show that awards are not always based solely on merit. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric

Why is it that no writer of science fiction of fantasy has ever
been awarded a Pulitzer prize? Perhaps because none has ever been
considered?
